Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Mechanically, this Act makes the specific parcels known as Football Park exempt from sewerage charges, water rates and land tax for the duration of a defined lease (the “prescribed period”), and treats the land as if it has always been exempt while that period runs. It directly affects The South Australian National Football League as lessee and the agencies that would otherwise levy those charges, and allows the Minister to end the exemption by public notice when the League’s headquarters cease to be maintained at Football Park.
